Setup

See how to setup your environment to successfully connect Firebug to remote browser instance. Note that you need to install Firebug on both sides, client and server.

Following preferences need to be set (use about:config)

Server

devtools.debugger.remote-enabled - must be set to true

extensions.firebug.serverMode - must be set to true

devtools.debugger.force-local - set to false if you want to connect to browser instance on another machine

Client

extensions.firebug.serverHost - name of the remote host (localhost by default)

extensions.firebug.serverPort - remote port (5999 by default)

In order to make a connection start both browser instances (use two Firefox profiles if tested on one machine). The client side should automatically try to connect the server according to the prefs settings. See the Connecting... button in the main Firebug toolbar.

FBTrace

In order to see/filter logs on the server and client you should use following options in the FBTrace console.
